I'm not involved with the company, so wouldn't know anything official, but living on the route there are quite frequently Mercs on there.

I travel along the 255 route on the 257 which crosses over at various points almost every day, every week and for almost over a year I haven't seen a Merc on the 255, mainly Tridents as previously pointed out with a Spectra occassionally covering

1669 was on the 255 today, with blank blinds.

There was also 2 Mercedes out on the 74 (1653) and 75 (NXWM livered) today.

This doesnt suprise after how may of the double deckers have been used on the town centre services suchas the 401/2 and 449, good to see the mercs back on their old service (74) as this will soon be a thing of the past

1600 was on the 429 today  8)

A Merc/B7RLE will crop up on the 255 on odd occassions Mon-Sat, the route it allocated solidly Tridents normally, on Sundays Mercs are the norm along with the odd B7RLE

There are also two Scania's out on the 40/41 today. At least one is Walsall's own, I'm not sure about the other.

I don't know if it was because of a breakdown or if they were taking a bus off to be wrapped, but 4132 was on the 40/41 this morning, in Walsall it was swapped for an OmniLink with 4132 then going on to the X51.

Ash

1795 was on the 313 as already noted on here
1882 made a rare appearence on the 311 as its normally used on the 404
1893 was on the 40

2 Diamond hybrids on the 301 with one being the all over green one (30130) and a normal black diamond livery hybrid.

One working that is scheduled, so technically isn't rare, but is unusual is that what I presume is the 0854 302 ex Walsall is operated by a double deck. I have seen this be a Trident on several occasions, but have also seen Gems & Enviros on this particular journey.

but typically when you take a photo specifically for the route it is on the destination doesn't show! At least no other BC services pass where the photo was taken!
